Premier League club director closes the door on Barcelona target’s exit – ‘Not even for €100 million’

Premier League club director closes the door on Barcelona target’s exit – ‘Not even for €100 million’

Barcelona are combing the market for all centre-forward profiles available irrespective of the profile, age, or experience of the player. After all, a new signing in that department is seen to be a necessity.

Julian Alvarez, at this point in time, appears to be the dream target and the club will look to begin negotiations with Atletico Madrid after the end of the ongoing season.

They are, however, keeping other, more cost-effective options on their radar as well, and Bournemouth’s 19-year-old revelation Eli Junior Kroupi has emerged as one such candidate.

After all, the player has enjoyed a breakout season in the Premier League with 12 goals in 19 starts, but has a contract in place that runs until 2030, which makes his move difficult.

Bournemouth director speaks

Speaking to the media in a recent interview (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Bournemouth’s executive director Tiago Pinto was asked about the possible sale of the Barcelona target, especially given the rumours doing the rounds.
